书籍介绍
这几乎不像一本教科书。它最大的争议与魅力，恰恰在于把严肃的统计学写成了段子手的作品：作者Andy Field用大量让人喷饭的比喻和校园生活实例，把方差分析、标准误、置信区间这些啃起来费劲的概念讲得通俗又好记。读者反复提到，是那些荒诞却贴切的例子帮他们真正掌握了要点，而非死记硬背操作步骤。它从本科一路陪伴到硕士，说明其深度足以支撑长期学习，又不失亲切。但也有人抱怨它厚重、看完容易回头重读，这正印证了它重理解而非速查的定位。对害怕统计、又希望真正懂其逻辑而非只会点鼠标的读者，这是一本能并肩“吐槽”的伙伴，而非冷冰冰的手册。

精彩摘录
- "Research looked at emotional reactions to infidelity and found that men get homicidal and suicidal and women feel undesirable and insecure (Shackelford, LeBlanc, & Drass, 2000)."
- "我看见的人生前景，就和今天的天气一样，风雨欲来，一片迷茫。 这种迷茫，是前不着村，后不着店的那种迷茫，我手捧着大龄未婚女青年的金字招牌，就这么站在这片属于我的荒郊野外，如果真是狂风骤雨席卷而来，手中的牌子一定不能拿来当雨伞。 我知道，市面上的好青年还有很多，一定有一个人，幽默而不做作，温柔而不咸湿，相貌不用多端庄，但随便一笑，便能击中我心房。茫茫人海活跃着这么多的怪胎，难道还容不下这样一个人存在？ 我想努力安慰自己，黄小仙儿，前途还是光明的，重出江湖吧，就算屡战屡败，补个妆换身儿衣裳重新站起来，一直战斗到这个人出现，这才是大龄女青年独有的豁达心态。 但我很快又转念一想，如果我这位命定的先生，和"
- "The reason why some people think that certain statistical tests allow causal inferences is because historically certain test (e.g. ANOVA, t-test, etc.) have been used to analyse experimental research, whereas others (e.g. regression, correlation) have been used to analyse correlational research (Cro"
- "In a normal distribution the values of skew and kurtosis are 0 (i.e. the tails of the distribution are as they should be). If a distribution has values of skew or kurtosis above or below 0 then this indicates a deviation from normal"
- "The standard deviation of sample means is known as the standard error of the mean (SE)"
- "A confidence interval for the mean is a range of scores constructed such that the population mean will fall within this range in 95% of samples. The confidence interval is not an interval within which we are 95% confident that the population mean will fall."
- "Fisher (1925/1991) (Figure 2.9) describes an experiment designed to test a claim by a woman that she could determine, by tasting a cup of tea, whether the milk or the tea was added first to the cup. what about if we complicated things by having six cups? There are 20 orders in which these cups can b"
- "test statistic = variance explained by the model / variance not explained by the model = effect / error The reason why this ratio is so useful is intuitive really: if our model is good then we'd expect it to be able to explain more variance than it can't explain. In this case, the test statistic wil"
